Children exposed to DV were 2.4 times more likely to show externalizing problems than children in no-violence comparison group (p < .001) |
ns predictor |
Significant predictor, compared to ages 4–6: ages 7–9 were .67 times less likely to have externalizing problems in clinical range, ages 10–14 were .69 times less likely |
n/a |
For all groups, more children were in the nonclinical than clinical range |
